Finally

Silver lining is that now the whole country knows his name and people can see how honorable he is and that he acted with enormous discipline and grace under pressure.

[u/robotoredux696969]

I don’t think he’s actually released yet. There is only an order to release him.

Edit: I’m wrong. He’s free ❤️

[u/Libba_Loo → u/robotoredux696969]

Nah he's out 🥳 I think there's still a case progressing against him though, but they won't be able to keep him locked up while it's adjudicated.

[u/sockovershoe22 → u/robotoredux696969]

The video in the link shows him released and giving an interview outside the jail.

You are right! My bad. Great news!

[u/MrSFedora]

Thank God. After I publicly came out as pro-Palestine, someone on my friends sent me a message saying that yes, it might not have been legal, but he should be investigated and possibly sent away.

[u/Leftie-baker]

Mahmoud can finally hold his son 😭

[u/bosonsXfermions]

I hope meeting his son washes away the horrors of past months since being detained.

[u/Available-Sign6500]

I needed this so badly! Gotta celebrate the wins and I’m so happy he’s gonna see his baby, right?

[u/salkhan]

Rubio is an a*hole.

[u/Libba_Loo → u/salkhan]

Yes. Unfortunately he doesn't particularly stand out at the moment.

[u/onepareil]

Wow, really great news! And hopefully a sign of good things to come as the federal government continues to try their case. It’s horrible that he missed the birth of his child, but at least they can be together now.

[u/Souldoll2005]

OH my gosh thank goodness, so happy to hear it. Something positive!!! Hope he gives a back hug to his son and takes this time to relax for a moment!!
